Lawlessness
I've always said that 90% of the DNC platform is, in effect, conspiracy to commit felony. The government is only legally allowed to do specific things, and if it confiscates citizen's money to do illegal things then that is extortion, theft, and dealing with illicit funds.
Ignoring foreign policy, I'm going to look at what portions of Barack Obama's policy platforms would be illegal if "enacted"

It's a free country
"It's a free country," is a common, snarky response to both doubting fellows seeking approval for their actions and preening egotists who think they know best. The phrase encapsulates American political culture: that neither brute nor egghead can tell a citizen a citizen what to do, that everyday people concerned with practical things don't owe a lick of deference to agents of the state, armed

Liberals and the Judiciary
I have said it before and I shall say it again: the seminal thought process in the activist progressive mind is inherently set against restrained concepts of government, including the founders' (and, indeed, all pre-modern) view of the judiciary.

From former Democratic Governor of New York and one-time Presidential candidate, Mario Cuomo:
Unfortunately, the justices [of the Supreme

Recommended defensive pistol loadings
Note: "+ P" refers to ammunition loaded past SAAMI recommended "safe" pressure levels. The designation was created so you don't blow fingers off firing hot loaded ammunition in a century old pistol.
The only HP ammunition one should consider in large derringer calibers (.38 special and up) is that from the Barnes DPX line. The more your pistol deviates from "normal" barrel length - about 5

Civics Lessons for Liberals
This episode: the Necessary and Proper Clause versus the Tenth Amendment.
The Necessary and Proper Clause. Article One. Section Eight.

"And to be frank with you"
Can you imagine what an absolute dick that original Frank who inspired the saying must have been?
He would probably get 4.5 popped purple polo collars out of 5, right up there with Janet Reno and that one stewardess who always tells you to put your chair in the upright position despite the fact that you informed her politely that the button was broken and thus prevented from moving any further

The latest of the global warming rants
Question: What do the climate alarmists have to support their constructs and solutions?
Answer: They have a hypothesis that the increase in carbon dioxide from the Industrial Revolution onward is the source for past and anticipated future rises in global temperatures, and they have computer climate models - based not on past data but on current hypotheses - that attempt to predict future climate

Mysticism and Tyranny, Al Gore Style
This is a letter to the editor (way way WAY too long) that I wrote in response to an idiotic opinion column in my student newspaper concerning global warming.
When it comes to global warming, don't believe the hype.
Superstition and despotism - western political culture is imbued with a history of rising out of these perfidies. The thought that our actions - rain dances, virgins thrown into

Hangings
This calls for nothing less than hangings.
No sense of history.
No sense of law.
No sense of duty, of national pride.
The sotsialisti have no sense of anything beyond their own power.
I can't even begin to remark on this action's unconstitutionality. Of course, one act cannot be more unconstitutional than another but this one has the quality of brazenness and contempt not only for the law,

Uh...huh...
I can expect the occasional liberal quip from some member of Law and Order: SVU. More often I can expect a conservative position expressed terribly. But rarely ever have I seen as many in the same episode as I just watched on USA.

Of Course
Pelosi: "This Congress is going to be about children."
It's about the Children, dammit the Constitution be damned!
Of course the sotsialisti think it's about the children: after all, at all levels various programs, requirements, and entitlements increasingly "raise" your child for you. And why is that? Because to the totalitarian mind (an affliction that many Republicans do not escape) we

One downside of infrequent blogging is posting on one subject multiple times
And this is one of those times.
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." Somewhere along the way, our Federal Government turned into our Grand Central Cabal. It

Perspective
The lesser of two evils lost in the Congressional elections. I am not happy about this; the lesser of two evils offers the best hope of shedding evil altogether, especially considering that the evil they stand for is limited in scope and discriminate in implementation, as opposed to "progressive" egalitarian efforts which are by definition unlimited in possibility and indiscriminate in action.

What they really think
Does anyone think it surprising that the authors of a DNC fluff piece describe Congress as our "rulers"?
I did not think so.

Things like this make me too un-enthused to post
Maybe someday the leftists will realize that one of the closest things to "Amerikkkan fascism" this country has seen are the insipid campaign regulations that they adore so much.

Constancy
If there is one thing the leftists and the utopians will never understand about their petty social engineering, it is unintended consequences.
However, even when consequences are unintended if they are repeatable and happen virtually every time a policy is tried then the only excuse can be willful ignorance or blind malice. But then again, why would one have a sense of history when all history

In a paragraph
As is inevitable on a college campus, an outspoken and blunt person such as I ran afoul of the sensibilities of some socialist young lady today. Her much more calm and attractive friend only volunteered one thing during our five minute exchange: "in just a few words, give us a pretty good idea of what conservatism is all about."
Conservatism is not about creating an ideal world because ideal

The fact that despite how much he has changed our times, this man is still a voice crying in the wilderness is depressing beyond sight. We would do well to listen to the likes of he.

On Idiocy and Democracy
One of the truths of life that has been forgotten in our political climate is that one can profess a great amount of idiocy without being an idiot. The brilliant mathematician who sustained the Russian rocket and space programs, while to varying degrees being fervent believers in the Marxist ideology, are a ready example. These people possessed a great deal of specific knowledge, but like any

Enviro-inanity
No reasonable person except environmental fanatics and the millions they have brainwashed can believe that the global warming crusade is anything other than a war against capitalism. Else why would they oppose all solutions (greater reliance on nuclear and hydroelectric power) save massive federal research funding and greater regulations and thus state control of industry?

"Justice" Run Amok
NOTE: My internet connection yesterday was less than satisfactory, causing problems that delayed the posting until today of this post written yesterday, August 21.
On this date fourteen years ago, the federal government tried to kill four of its own citizens. They succeeded in two murders: a fourteen year old boy was shot in the back, a mother holding her babe in her arms was, the next day, shot
